unable to look at the horrib sight. Spies strug,
gled fearfully at first. Fischer did not move for
moment or two, and then he hung limp, but strug-
gled for few moments, during which his cowl
was disarranged, exposing part of his face, until
the body was turned around by the physician who
was examining his pulse. Engel's body made
scarcely motion after 1t had fallen
| When Parsons body fell 1t remained stationary
| for some moments. Then the head nodded back
and forth, while the upper portion of the body was
conyulsed, ana the bosom heaved so hard 1t seemed
| as If 1t would burst through the shrOud With
another violent throe of the whole body the contest
between life and death ended.
ENGEL's BROTHER.
| CHICAGO, November l2.-Late last night crowd
| of about three hundred people assembled in front
of the store formerly kept by hngel, on Milwaukee
avenue, and was harangHed by brother of the
| doomed man, who spoke in English and German.
Heprotested against the hanging of his brother, and
called it the murder of an innocent man by the
government, which was for the benefit OF the few
and at the cost of the many, the government
which George Engel had sought 10 overthrow.
AS he spoke the elang and rumble of the patrol
| wagon from the West Chicago avenue station was
| heard, and ten or dozen policemen cleared the
place In an instant, pushed Engel into his store
and made him lock the place up and put out the
| lights.
VIEWING THE BoDRs
CHICAGO, November IL The doors of the under
| taking establishment to which the bodies of the
dead anarchists were taken after the execution
| yesterday we're thrown open OF o'clock this morn
|
| Only the bodies of Parsons and Fischer were left
to crafty ,the morbid curiosity of the crowd, the
remains of Spies and EnSel having already been
removed. Occasionally oae of the curious would
mutter something No he gazed upon the upturned,
distorted faces of the Dead but most of the people
passed on silently after glance at the counenan-
ces of these much talked OF men.
| AT 80 O'Clock the doors were closed. AT that
time there was big crowd outside, and IL was esti
mated that four or five thousand, people had
viewed the remains. Half an hour later the
bodies were removed to the residences of the dead
anarchists. No excitement attended the transfer
of the remains.
CONCERNING THE FUNERALS.
CHICAGO, November l2-It looks very much
as if the city authorities would REFUGE to
arr hists to carry out their programme respect
ing their funerals, which are set for tomorrow.
1t has been learned from the most reliable sources
that Mayor Roche, Chief of Police Ebersold, In
specter Bonfeld and Commissioner of Public
Works Swift have had long conference, respect
ing what they would or would not allow The
chief and mayor are both set against permitting
crowds to line the streets through which the
c0rtege proposes passing, and 1t may be decided
that the burias of the "reds will have to be made
separately.
An Incident occurred this morning which shows
the temper of the law abiding people of the city.
Spies was member of the Aurora Turnverein
Some socialistic member q the organization
| placed the American flag az half mast on the
Aurora Turn Halle. 1t had not been there long be-
| fore the owners of the building ordered the flag
taken down, and IL was done,
1t is strongly limited that the authorities of
Wadheim cemetery-the one in which 1t was pro-
| posed to bury the "reds, and over their graves
| erect monuments, were seriously considering
whether IL was not their duty TO refuse resting
place for the anarchists remains within their en-
closure. AT least they will not allow monu-
| ment.
Both the owners of the Aurora Turn Halle, II
may be interesting to known, are Germans. IL
was also learned to-day that the Turn Halle owners
would most likely refuse TO allow the body of
Spies to lie in state in the Halle as was proposed
AT THE JAIL
| CmolGo, November lathe Jail was a sombr
place this morning Bailiffs, prisoners reporters
| and visitors had not yet outworn the gruesome
scenes of yesterday. A detail of prisoners, In the
early morning, scrubbed the Jail from top to bot
| tom. The last remnants of the gallows had been
removed yesterday and packed away in the crypts
| under the jail.

A few minutes after IL o'clock Gleason pulled a
pair of handle ufs out of his pocket and fitted them
